I have 2 vintage machines, one I am looking for a manual for, also a service manual if possible.
Its a Wilson Rotary number on the plate is 107x1303 I can not for the life of me find anything about them. I was told it was a White badge for a store. :P But don't know if its true.

Hello Tammy and welcome. I had a Domestic Rotary machine just like this. It would be easier to find the manual for one of them or a White Rotary. They should be interchangeable. And yes, it probably is a badged machine. White made a lot of machines and badged them. This is my Domestic Rotary as it looked when I brought it home, so please excuse the dust.

The footplate and the bobbin winder is the White design.
I hope this helps.

Hello everyone. I have met a very nice guy in my area who wants to re-home a Singer 237, a Viking 21, a White with nice decals - electric, with a case - early treadle type, and in Iowa he has an Elna Supermatic, price is really cheap! PM me if you are interested and I will give you the information. I just bought my second Pfaff 360 from him!

Thanks Grant, it helped alot
Found the manual for the Domestic and it just about matches mine.. only difference was the reverse and forward mechanism. So I downloaded it and will see what else I can find.. As far as dating it, I don't know how with the numbers I have.. But will continue digging around..


BTW, the pic posted is the before pic and I have a few more so no worries about the dust.. The cabinet came with it, we found them both hiding in a back storage area of our local junk shop. It had been sitting back there about 3 years. We got it for $10.00. And all the veneer on it was peeling off and had a mess load of damage to it, so my b/f took to his shop and has got it nearly all sanded off. I wanted to keep as much of it on there as I could but he just went to town on it.. Will post some pics of it when it is done.
